Forgot about the mosquitoes. They’ve also been worse this year. The cats are still bringing in grasshoppers. We hardly ever have crickets so there’s some sort of natural boundary between here and Lampasas. Lampasas has (or used to have) biblical infestations of crickets.

Every year here we have a different insect species bloom. First year was stink bugs. Stupid things are cannibals though. Just get a few infected with poison and dozens will die. This year was crickets.

Lampasas. South and east of me. You might be in that lower elevation area of Texas that includes Houston and Dallas Fort Worth. Higher humidity than us. Definitely a different climate. Am up about 1,000 foot elevation.
